did he have insurance?
My baby got hit too :(
Not too bad...big monster truck with 5' lift did not see me in front of him 
and his gigantic tire basically rolled over my rear bumper and so the bumper cover got bent and down and broke the taillight lens. How do I remove the bumper cover? screws in the wheel wells and then just pull and it should pop off? Are there any screws/bolts inside the trunk?
Thanks. Figure I might as well replace it and then do a $50 rolled on paint job LOL
oh yeah, does the slimmer profile JDM rear bumper fit like USDM bumpers? maybe I'll get a JDM one

That's the answer I was hoping for hehe... I agree they look better. Now if only I can find a FX GT bumper too for the front...hmmmDamn, sorry to hear that. I was expecting to see a lot worse, so I'm glad the damage is only minor. As for the replacement bumper, yes a JDM rear bumper will fit straight onto your USDM Corolla :thumbsup:. They look a lot better in my opinion
Are you sure about that?Damn, sorry to hear that. I was expecting to see a lot worse, so I'm glad the damage is only minor. As for the replacement bumper, yes a JDM rear bumper will fit straight onto your USDM Corolla :thumbsup:. They look a lot better in my opinion
North American versions of the Corolla come with rear rebars for improved crash protection. They protrude quite a bit from the rear chassis. It looks to me like the crash bar will have to be removed or modified in order to fit the lower profile JDM/EDM rear bumper.
Not something to be done if you live in an area full of bad drivers IMO.
You will have to remove the mud flaps. Then there are plastic clips along trunk edge. Push the center of the clips down and then pull them up. But you probably know that already.
You should slide the bumper cover backwards to release the fittings on the sides.
There are pins with rounded ends extending from the sides of the body that slide into a plastic U-shaped fittings in the bumper. Actually it is the bumper fittings that slide onto the pins really
